Summary
Eagle 86857 recovered from ME/CFS almost 15 years before their 2019 posts and stayed well for well over a decade, able to do everything they did before the illness. The illness then returned in a full relapse that sidelined them with old and new symptoms, and they thought their return to old lifestyle and habits may have contributed. Six years on they were only a bit better and far from their former level, with two brief remissions of one day and three days.
